Instead of a new appliance

Save up to 200 euros on repairs with a receipt

Electrical appliances are breaking down faster and faster. To avoid having to buy a new one, repairs are encouraged.

It feels like our appliances simply don't last as long as they used to. One possible explanation for this could be the technical-sounding term "planned obsolescence". A perfidious concept according to which devices are built in such a way that they simply stop working after a certain time.

Cheaper than buying new
Regardless of whether this is actually the case or not: in these expensive times, it is more than annoying when a washing machine or fridge suddenly stops working. Because buying a new appliance is expensive.

The German government recognized this problem two years ago and launched the repair bonus. "Don't give up and give your electrical appliances a second chance. It's not only much cheaper, but also more environmentally friendly," says the Internet.

Up to 200 euros in support
Anyone can create a repair voucher on the platform. This saves you 50 percent of the costs at partner companies - the Ministry of Climate Protection will cover up to 200 euros per repair. The only downside is that you can only get the voucher via the website. However, once you have printed it out, it can also be redeemed at the hundreds of partner businesses in Carinthia.
